So after speaking to the body shop about getting the welding done and the existing insulation/carpet and associated fire risk, I’ve had to spend quite a chunk of time stripping out the original reimo interior (very very carefully) but finally got it all out today. I’m thinking I’ll re insulate the rear sections while I’m at it and have it all opened up anyway.
I’ve got some new front arches going in to get painted at the same time so should be all ready for the summer, although think I’ll need some bits for the upcoming MOT.
